Sandwiches, Pizzas and Burgers

Griddle Cheeseburgers with Parsley-Shallot Butter

I’ve been tossing burgers on the grill for more years than I care to admit. Nothing wrong with that, but recently, I have started making an “indoor” burger that is a mean rival to the grilled one. It harkens back to the diner burger, that deliciously juicy patty cooked on a griddle that oozes with beefy flavor.

Homemade Caprese Pizza

Often we fall under the spell of believing that some foods are only available from cheap take-out vendors. Chinese food, pizza, fried chicken and pulled pork come to mind. Ordering out is fine when you’re exhausted or in a rush, but when you have the time, all these things are exponentially better, and better for you, when you make them yourself.

The Legendary Hot Brown (According to the Brown Hotel)

The Hot Brown is the original hangover preventer. It was served at the midnight dance break at Louisville’s Brown Hotel to give the partiers a little sustenance to survive the last hours of drinking and dancing.

Key West Tuna Burgers

These tasty burgers, made with freshly-caught Key West balckfin tuna and spiced up with Thai chili sauce, make a delightful light lunch on a warm, tropical day.
